Oh, Rush, please don’t go

Rush Limbaugh, please stay in the United States. I know you threatened to go to Costa Rica if Obamacare was upheld, but what did the Costa Ricans ever do to you?

We already export fast food, inane television shows, and grotesque materialism to the rest of the world. I think your bile and insane rantings would make the US a true pariah among nations.

You spent years berating Democrats as being unpatriotic because they protested Bush/Cheney policies they didn’t like. Now you don’t like something and you are going to “self-deport” (to quote Mitt). Now, who is being unpatriotic?

When you are talking to your friends in the Congress, could you please tell them that they need a remedial course on the Constitution and constitutional law. Since Marbury v. Madison, it has been well established that the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of whether a law is or is not Constitutional. Senator Rand Paul doesn’t seem to know that. And, if he doesn’t understand some basic principles about how our founding fathers set up our system of governance, then maybe he is unfit for his job.

But you are perfectly suited to being a shock jock on talk radio. You are crass, bellicose, incendiary, pig headed, and an ego-maniac with one or more personality disorders. That you are popular says more about us than about you. And that is truly the pity.

But stay here, Rush, because other countries have enough problems without you. Not that you were really going anywhere. Because you really are too much of a hypocrite and meglo-maniac to give up your fame and fortune for principle.
